DISCOVER TENKARA FISHING

Tenkara is who we are.

In 2009, Tenkara USA® introduced tenkara to anglers outside of Japan for the first time. For the past fifteen years, we've been fully dedicated to bringing this traditional method of Japanese fly-fishing to those in pursuit of a simpler and more effective way to fly-fish mountain streams.

Why Tenkara?

Forget all the jargon and complicated gear—tenkara’s effectiveness stems from the simple combination of a long rod, and light line.
